布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
Just previous to my going to Washington the second time, the country had been excited, and the coloured people greatly depressed, because of several severe race riots which had occurred at different points in the South. As soon as I saw the President, I perceived that his heart was greatly burdened by reason of these race disturbances. Although there were many people waiting to see him, he detained me for some time, discussing the condition and prospects of the race. He remarked several times that he was determined to show his interest and faith in the race, not merely in words, but by acts. When I told him that I thought that at that time scarcely anything would go farther in giving hope and encouragement to the race than the fact that the President of the Nation would be willing to travel one hundred and forty miles out of his way to spend a day at a Negro institution, he seemed deeply impressed.

白话
布克·T·华盛顿第二次去华盛顿前，南方多地发生严重种族骚乱，黑人群体情绪低落。他见到总统后，发现总统因这些骚乱心情沉重。尽管外面很多人等候，总统仍留他长谈种族状况与前景，并多次表示要用行动而非空话显示对黑人的关心和信任。华盛顿建议：总统若肯绕路一百四十英里，到一所黑人学校待一天，对黑人将是极大的希望和鼓励。总统听后深受触动。
